"What? We can't let people from the guardhouse interfere?"
Zhang Jingxian looked at Xu He in surprise.
"Liangsheng, if anyone else dares to say such things in front of me, I will definitely arrest him on the spot! Your family has been blessed by the country, so you should be more cautious in what you say and do."
Xu He heard what Zhang Jingxian said was serious, so he quickly stood up and said: "Sir, where are you thinking? You should know the reason why I don't let the guards intervene in the team training!"
Zhang Jingxian frowned and said, "Speak directly if you have anything to say."
Xu He smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhang, you should know best what the situation is like for the soldiers in the guard station now. Because you are stationed at Hailing Qianhu Station, it is already considered the most capable of fighting among the Nanzhi Guard Station. But this can Fight, it depends on who you compete with, Wang Qianhu doesn’t dare to take advantage of his free salary, now the Hailing Qianhu Station is basically full, so naturally it is the Nanzhiwei Station that has the most difficulty.”
"But even if it is such a rare Hailing Thousand Household Residence, if they are dragged out to fight with thieves, do you think they can do the job?"
Zhang Jingxian fell into silence after hearing this.
After a while, Xu He said: "Not to mention the Hailing Qianhu Station, even the Yangzhou Guards, except for the personal soldiers under Mr. Chen, the other soldiers are also old, useless, and can't even take a step without breathing. "
When Zhang Jingxian heard this, he sighed in his heart. Although this was a slap in the face, Xu He did tell the truth.
"Master Hailing Chen means that he feels that the recent situation is a bit strange, so he asked me to organize manpower to protect the people. Fifty people are too few, so I found you."
"I'm not doing it for myself. It's just that our family has to pay for food and grass, so we can't be taken advantage of, right?"
Zhang Jingxian finally nodded and said, "You can ask me to agree, but can you train troops?"
When Xu He heard this, he thought it was done, so he said: "I don't understand, but someone does. I have just made two friends recently, one is good at military strategy, and the other is a good general, I am going to let them practice Practice your skills! Try to lead a group! Besides, aren’t you here, my lord?”
Zhang Jingxian laughed at Xu He's sudden flattery: "Light sound, bright sound, you kid..."
The expression is reproach, the smile is praise.
"I think it's okay to do this. Wait until I write the document and approve it. If the superiors agree, I won't object!" Zhang Jingxian said.
Xu He was overjoyed: "That's not a matter of a word from the adults."
But Zhang Jingxian suddenly said seriously: "Although I agreed, I also have conditions."
Well, I negotiated terms with Chen Hua, and Zhang Jingxian approached me to negotiate terms...
"First, don't even think about seven hundred people. I will give you a maximum of three hundred places!"
Xu He nodded when he heard this number and said: "No problem, why do you need so many people? It's not like you have any evil intentions. Three hundred people plus fifty people from the county are enough. If anything happens, these People are somewhat useful.”
Hearing Xu He's words, Zhang Jingxian obviously relaxed a lot.
"Second, I will leave these people to you, but they still have to be dispatched by the court. Every three months, the battalion officer must come to me to report!"
Xu He smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, there is no problem with this! Group training is originally under the jurisdiction of adults. Who else can I turn to if I don't turn to you?"
Zhang Jingxian nodded and said solemnly: "Liangsheng, you are a smart person, but after what happened with the tea last time, I always thought that you are missing something!"
Xu He said in surprise: "Sir, what do you think I lack?"
Zhang Jingxian was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "You lack the heart to fear the imperial court and His Majesty!"
When Xu He heard this, he was so frightened that a cold wind ran down his back.
"this……"
He wanted to explain something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Was Zhang Jingxian wrong?
No, it can be said that Zhang Jingxian's words suddenly revealed the secret deep in Xu He's heart.
He is a person from later generations. Through this period of time after time travel, he has indeed experienced a lot of the majesty and terror of the court and the royal family.
But deep down in his heart, he is still stuck in the indifference of later generations, that the emperor is also a human being.
The emperor is indeed a human being, but in the minds of the scholar-bureaucrats of this era, he is a king and father.
Zhang Jingxian saw that he was breaking out in a cold sweat, so he smiled and said: "I know that a smart person like you is naturally accustomed to looking beyond the top, but as an elder, I would like to remind you that you have to be moderate in doing things, otherwise,... A misunderstanding would be bad!”
Zhang Jingxian did not say who caused the misunderstanding, but Xu He knew it very well.
Zhang Jingxian's words seemed to be a warning, but weren't they a sign of love for Xu He?
He attributed Xu He's lack of awe to the fact that you were too awesome and your eyes were above the level.
But it was this misunderstanding that made Xu He realize that sometimes he was still too complacent.
"Sir, Xu He will take your words to heart!" Xu He stood up and saluted Zhang Jingxian solemnly.
Zhang Jingxian smiled and said: "It seems that you really listened. I thought you would disapprove of it! In this case, I can trust you to hand over the three hundred people!"
…
After coming out of Zhang Jingxian's place, Xu He first told Chen Hua about this matter. Chen Hua saw that Zhang Jingxian had no objection, and his fifty people naturally didn't care either.
Soon, the approval from the Inspectorate came down, and Xu He officially held the 350-person group training quota recognized by the imperial court.
With the quota available, Xu He naturally went to Xu Dai to discuss the matter.
When Xu Dai first heard about the group training, he said with little interest: "Liangsheng, you will leave for the capital at the end of the year to prepare for the exam. Why are you bothering with this kind of thing now?"
Naturally, Xu He would not tell Xu Dai about his worries about the future situation, and telling him would be of no use.
He has now mastered the trick when dealing with Xu Dai.
"Second uncle, you can't say that. Although team training costs money and food, have you ever thought about it. Our Xu family has a great cause, and now there is no peace on the ground. If the thieves come, we can hide. Where are the clansmen in the city?"
As soon as he mentioned the clan, Xu Dai's expression became serious as expected: "But three hundred and fifty people, eating, drinking, chewing, plus weapons, this is not a small number!"
"Second uncle, don't worry. Our family will naturally have to take the lead in terms of money and food, but the county and Haiphong Daochang will also help!"
Xu Dai was still hesitant. Xu He smiled and said: "Second uncle, if we organize this regiment, it will be the number one in South Zhili. Even the Shen family does not have as many people as we have."
When he heard that he could overwhelm the Shen family, Xu Dai was indeed tempted.
Xu He further added to the fire and said: "The second uncle will be the battalion officer of this regiment. Wherever you go, who will not look up to you?"
When Xu Dai heard this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Why should I be a camp officer? Forget it, I'm just doing something for my tribe and fellow villagers!"
"Second uncle, be kind!"
"Hahaha!"
